Wilder World Launches CYPHER INC to Fuel a Creator-Led Metaverse

Wilder World is turning up the heat in the metaverse with the launch of CYPHER INC., a US-based funding vehicle designed to supercharge its ZERO social app and photorealistic Wilder World universe. This ambitious move aims to connect creators, blockchain innovation, AI, and extended reality (XR) under a single “superstack,” all while keeping privacy, decentralization, and creative freedom at the core.

Let’s break down why CYPHER is more than just another metaverse project—it’s an entire digital renaissance in the making.

Building the Next-Generation Creator Economy

At its heart, CYPHER is about empowering creators to thrive in a permissionless, open, and self-owned digital economy. The funding will go toward tools and platforms enabling the production of:

• Digital art and 3D models

• Games and interactive stories

• Avatars and virtual fashion

• Code, AI models, and immersive content

Much of this creative economy will live inside the ZERO social platform and Wilder World metaverse, but the vision extends far beyond—enabling interoperability across blockchains and the open web.

The “Superstack” Connecting Nine Major Projects

CYPHER will unite nine core projects into one interconnected powerhouse:

1. ZERO

2. Wilder World

3. MEOW

4. Z Chain

5. Labyrinth

6. ZID

7. AURA

8. NOVA

9. THE GRID

Each will operate independently yet benefit from shared infrastructure, funding, and community. All project updates will be featured on ZINE, the official news source, while cypher.net will serve as the public hub for the ecosystem.

If you’ve been following the evolution of blockchain games, you’ll see this is a significant step toward unifying immersive virtual worlds under a creator-first philosophy.

Inspired by the Cypherpunk Movement

The name CYPHER isn’t random—it’s a nod to the cypherpunk movement of the late ’80s and ’90s. Cypherpunks were early advocates of cryptography, privacy, decentralization, and freedom from centralized control. They paved the way for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the decentralized internet.

CYPHER’s mission echoes this ethos: to shift society from being passive consumers to active creators. By tapping into both crypto-native and traditional capital markets, Wilder World aims to future-proof its ecosystem for decades to come.

Funding Strategy and Expansion Plans

CYPHER is preparing to raise $21 million in late Q3 or early Q4 2025 via Republic, allowing participation from both US and international investors—including non-accredited ones. The funds will be used to acquire:

• WILD and MEOW tokens

• Official Wilder World NFTs and land

• ZNS World Domains

• Strategic assets like BTC, ETH, and future ecosystem tokens

Long-term, CYPHER targets over $100 million in funding by mid-2026. Importantly, Token Generation Events for CYPHER projects will only happen once there’s proven adoption and a clear product–market fit.

Z Chain – The High-Speed Backbone

At the core of this expansion is Z Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the onchain metaverse and next-gen social networking. Key highlights:

• Own cryptocurrency: $Z

• Six testnets completed over the past 18 months

• First shard live in production

• Integrated with Polygon’s AggLayer for fast cross-chain finality

Z Chain will enable ultra-fast transactions, full sovereignty, and limitless scalability. The first major $Z airdrop will coincide with the network’s growth and the release of the Wilder World Super Early Access.

July 2025 – A Month of Big Wins

July was stacked with announcements for Wilder World:

• July 7: Lamborghini dropped 600 NFT versions of its Temerario supercar (10 rare GT3 editions) playable in Wilder World, REVV Racing, and Torque Drift 2. This marked the first joint physical–digital launch for Lamborghini.

• July 14: Introduction of Metropolis (WILD staking on Z Chain), ZBI (MEOW rewards for ecosystem activity), and MEGADROP (stake WILD or MEOW to earn CATNIP for future airdrops).

• July 25: Launch of Wiami.Fun, an AI creator platform for designing in-game skins with generative AI, turning them into tokenized assets and NFTs.

  
  

What’s Next for Wilder World and ZERO

The next big milestone is the Super Early Access launch of Wilder World on the Epic Games Store, featuring:

• TPS/FPS gameplay

• Arena modes

• Gear economy with both fiat and crypto payments

• Deflationary buyback-and-burn mechanics for WILD

Later this year, the ZERO social platform will open to the public, completing the vision of a fully integrated metaverse-social network-creator economy.

With CYPHER, Wilder World isn’t just building a game—it’s shaping the blueprint for an open, creator-owned digital future.
